Sonic Mania - Special & Bonus stages revealed


​

With less than 2 weeks to the release of Sonic Mania left - SEGA have finally pulled back the curtains on the games special stages. In the new footage above we get a good look at the new gameplay that see Sonic & friends chasing down a "UFO" for the fabled Chaos Emeralds. The presentation for the stages, much like the entire Sonic Mania experience, take on a heavy SEGA Saturn influence - draw distance and all!

We also get a good look at the bonus stages which may surprise some; and time attack mode - which allows players to instantly restart a stage with the tap of a button when the run isn't quite as perfect as you'd like.

Sonia Mania launches on the 15th August on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Switch.

So much effort, love and attention and been poured into this game, you can tell with every pixel. Digging the speedrunners practice mode, resetting the level whenever you want. That'll be great, even better if you can set checkpoints.

Glad both this and undertale (on PS4) come out the day before I go to school. Looking forward to playing some Sonic mania on the go with the switch!

Am I the only one who wishes they would stop revealing this kind of stuff to keep it a surprise?

Before anyone says 'don't look', it's a bit hard when the thumbnail gives it away and it's on the front page.

You're only option now is staying off the internet for two weeks if you don't want anything else spoiled. Good luck!

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
